I fust found a way to crash IE 4 using frames:
Make a file 'test.htm' with the following content
and view it with IE 4. Under Win95 IE 4 will
crash.

<!--

<HTML>

<TITLE>IE 4 BUG</TITLE>

<FRAMESET ROWS = 50%,50%>
       <FRAME SRC = "test.htm">

Naturalitch!  A forever loop in a web page....
3.01 on Solaris loads the page but any further load it dies.

Why would you want to do this anyway?



I found that the loop is not necessary.  Name the page ie4test.html and
leave the frame links as test.htm (which need not exist), and it still
crashes IE4.  The entire content is inside a HTML comment anyway, so the
correct action for ANY browser is to treat the entire page as a no-op.
